Spectacular Samsing-a small hamlet of Darjeeling District

A spectacular small hamlet in the Dooars region of West Bengal brings an utter joy when visited being exhausted from our daily hectic schedule. From New Jalpaiguri to New Mal Junction one can enjoy the slow chugs of train and eagerly view the nature's bliss. We stayed at Trishna lodge where the warm welcome by the hotel manager instantly melted our hearts and made our trip memorable. The very first day we visited Suntaleykhola. The meaning of Suntale is orange and Khola means stream. But the gushing water of River Murti is more than of a stream. If you want to remain away for some days from the hustle bustle of city life then this small serene hamlet welcomes you. We next visited to Jhalong and Bindu. From samsing you can also visit Neora valley National Park which is a lush green forest with variety of species of bird and butterflies.

. I had one of the most blissful stays in Samsing Darjeeling when I was there in October 2012. We stayed at the Suntaleykhola river camp where it was just nature and us. I would personally recommend a stay over here.

Hi Ashima, can you suggest any other lodge or resort in Samsing Darjeeling? Do they have any sort of adventure activities? I am looking to go camping or trekking and want to know if they have anything like that out there.

Samsing in Darjeeling lies just on the border of Darjeeling and New Jalpaiguri so it is much closer than Darjeeling. It is a perfect place for a stopover on the way to Darjeeling. You could say it sets the tone for a romantic holiday.

If you're looking for moments of solitude and undisturbed peace then Samsing Darjeeling is the place to be. This tiny village is everything you can ask for. Picturesque, calm and peaceful and not crowded at all unlike main Darjeeling.

I always drive up to Darjeeling so whenever I do I stop for a day at Samsing before heading on to Darjeeling. This place always does wonders for my soul. If Darjeeling is my second home, this is my third.
